Todogrowled

To choose your Todogrowled lamp, I advise you to consider the size of your grow space and the type of plants you wish to cultivate. Ranges like the STAR Range or the Evolution Range offer varied options in terms of power and spectrum, adapted to different needs. I always look at the PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) to ensure that the light will reach all areas of my canopy.

The ideal power really depends on the surface area of your grow. Generally, for a small space (60x60cm), I recommend a power of around 100-150W. For larger areas, you will need more power, or consider multiple modules. Don't forget that Todogrowled LEDs, thanks to their Cree LEDs and MeanWell drivers, are very efficient, so the electrical power does not directly translate to the same light output as an HPS, for example.

The main difference is energy efficiency and the light spectrum. Todogrowled LEDs consume much less electricity for the same light intensity, and they produce less heat. Furthermore, their spectrum is often more complete and optimized for photosynthesis, unlike HPS/MH which have a more limited spectrum. This is what allows for better growth and flowering with LEDs.

The full spectrum of Todogrowled LEDs is crucial because it mimics natural sunlight, providing your plants with all the wavelengths necessary for each stage of their development. This includes blue for vegetative growth, red for flowering, and even infrared and ultraviolet which can have beneficial effects on resin production and plant robustness. In practice, this translates to healthier plants and optimal yields.

Installing a Todogrowled lamp is generally quite simple. I always start by securely attaching the lamp to the ceiling of my grow room using the provided hangers. Then, I plug in the power supply. The important thing is to ensure that the lamp is stable and that the wiring is secure. I advise you to always follow the specific instructions for the model you have chosen for optimal installation.

The ideal distance between your Todogrowled lamp and your plants is crucial and depends on the power of your lighting and the development stage of your plants. During the growth phase, I generally start at about 40-60 cm. During flowering, I can bring the lamp closer to 30-40 cm, but you must always observe the plants for any signs of stress, such as yellowing or curling leaves. The goal is to maximize light intensity without burning the plants.

The number of hours of light depends on the life cycle of your plants. For the vegetative phase (growth), I recommend a cycle of 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. For the flowering phase, you need to switch to a cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to trigger flowering in most photo-periodical plants. This is a golden rule in indoor horticulture.

Absolutely! Todogrowled LEDs are designed with a full spectrum that makes them perfectly suited for all stages of your plants' life, from germination to harvest. Thanks to their Cree LEDs, they provide the necessary wavelengths for robust vegetative growth and abundant flowering. This is a major advantage compared to lamps that require changing bulbs between phases.
